hey guys new to the scene, me and my son just got into hunting and drew a cow tag for the late hunt up in 10. any advice would be appreceiated, hows the hunting up there? a friend from work said there spread thin, but i dont know, thanks
 
Arizona???? Here's some advice; Find-out where Michael W. has hunted over the years, and then hunt somewhere else!!!! (Sorry Mike, I couldn't resist!!!). :) LOL

Seriously though, unfortunately I don't know much about the unit personally. How far from the unit are you? I would suggest a couple of scouting trips to get the lay of the land soon, and then another scouting trip or two in the weeks close to the hunt. Watch this board for reports during the early hunts and then query some folks for help then (after scouting a bit first! There's usually some folks that will help with some late info. Especially if it is to help a youngster! ;-)

Best of luck!

yeah its for Arizona and im about 2 1/2 or 3 hrs drive from the area so scouting needs to be planned in advance probably camp for the night/weekend and dont trust leaving a trail cam up so thats out
 
I've been hunting elk in Az for 5 years now and have been lucky enough to shoot 4 elk, 3 with a bow and one with a rifle. I have hunted in three different units and have made a minimum of 3 scouting trips to each one before the season. The first thing I do is exactly what you are doing, picking peoples brains. Then I get topo maps of the unit and look for the water in areas I think I might want to hunt. On my scouting trips the first thing I do is check the water tanks, if they are being used(elk tracks are hard to miss) then I scout that area further, especially when they start bugling in early Sept. They are much easier to locate then. Also check the Game and Fish website under the "Where to hunt" section. That may give you some ideas on where to go. I have never hunted unit 10 but the steps I have given, along with a lot of walking, have helped me greatly with my success. Good luck.
